MANY ARE NOW PROTESTING LEADERSHIP IN THE
PHILIPPINES AFTER THE DEATH OF A 17 YEAR OLD BOY.
THIS DEATH CENTERED AROUND AN INCIDENT INVOLVING COPS.
THE POLICE ALLEGE THAT KIEN DELOS SANTOS WAS ARMED AND
THAT HE OPENED FIRE AGAINST THE COPS WHICH LED THEM TO
RETURN FIRE AND THEN THEY SHOT AND KILLED HIM.
THERE WAS WITNESS TESTIMONY AND ALSO SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE
THAT INDICATED THAT THAT WAS NOT IN FACT WHAT HAPPENED AND
SO THIS IS ALL PART OF DUTERTEíS SUPPORT OF
EXTRAJUDICIAL KILLINGS INVOLVING THOSE WHO ARE IN POSITION
OF OR TRAFFICKING DRUGS AND HE HAS GOTTEN A LOT OF SUPPORT
FOR HAVING A POLICY, BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE, MANY OF WHICH
NEVER GOT A DAY IN COURT AS A RESULT OF THAT.
IN FACT THERE HAVE BEEN 12,500 CASUALTIES AS A RESULT OF
THESE EXTRAJUDICIAL KILLINGS AND UNFORTUNATELY, IT TOOK THE
DEATH OF AN INNOCENT 17-YEAR-OLD FOR PEOPLE TO WAKE UP AND
REALIZE THAT THIS IS PROBABLY NOT
A GOOD IDEA.
LET'S PAUSE THERE BECAUSE I ONCE GIVE MORE CONTEXT.
OF THE 12,500 PEOPLE KILLED, 3500 HAVE BEEN KILLED IN
POLICE SHOOTOUTS WHERE THE OFFICERS CLAIMED SELF-DEFENSE.
NOW WHEN YOU SEE ON VIDEO THAT THEY PUT A GUN IN THE KIDS
HANDS AND MAKE THEM RUN AWAY AND THEN THEY SHOOT HIM IN THE
BACK, YOU GET A SENSE OF MAYBE THOSE WERE SHOOTOUTS.
MAYBE THIS IS SOMETHING THEY DO, NOT MAYBE, ALMOST CERTAINLY
WHAT THEY DO ON A REGULAR BASIS TO MURDER PEOPLE.
WAS THE KID A DRUG DEALER?
NO.
IT TURNS OUT THE KID ACTUALLY WANTED TO BE A COP AND
THE LAST THING THAT ANYBODY HEARD FROM HIM WHEN HE WAS
SCREAMING PLEASE CAN I GO HOME, I HAVE SCHOOL TOMORROW SO
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE NO RULE OF LAW.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ELECT CRAZY PEOPLE.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS.
THERE'S A REASON WHY A JUSTICE SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO EXIST
SO PEOPLE CAN HAVE THEIR DAY IN COURT AND THEY CAN BE FOUND
GUILTY OR INNOCENT AND THEN YOU CAN CARRY OUT THE
APPROPRIATE ACTIONS FOLLOWING THAT DAY IN COURT BUT THEY
DECIDED AGAINST THAT.
THEY DECIDED TO SUPPORT A CRAZY PERSON LIKE DUTERTE WHO
THINKS THAT SOMEONE WHO MIGHT BE ADDICTED TO DRUGS IS WORTHY
OF MURDERING.
IT'S DISGUSTING.
BY THE WAY WE LIVE IN A COUNTRY THAT ELECTS CRAZY PEOPLE AS WELL
AND DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE OF DUTERTE AND HIS
TOUGH ON CRIME POLICIES BUT IN REALITY THEY END UP KILLING
COMPLETELY INNOCENT PEOPLE AND PEOPLE WHO JUST NEED HELP
WITH REHABILITATION.
THERE THREE LAYERS AT A MINIMUM AND THE PROBLEMS
THAT THIS APPROACH HAS.
ONE IS KILLING DRUG DEALERS, NOBODY PASSED THOSE LAWS.
DEALING DRUGS IS NOT AN OFFENSE THAT YOU SHOULD BE EXECUTED FOR.
IF IT WAS WE WOULD AGREE IS A SOCIETY THAT YOU SHOULD, WE
DIDN'T PASS THE LAW AMERICA OR IN THE PHILIPPINES.
IS EXECUTED ANYWAY.
THE SECOND LAYER IS MUCH MORE TROUBLING.
IF YOU ARE TAKING DRUGS HE IS EXECUTING YOU.
THAT IS A HEALTHCARE ISSUE.
YOU DONíT GO AROUND SHOOTING
EVERYBODY WHO IS HAVING A BEER.
YOU SEEM LIKE YOU ARE ADDICTED TO ALCOHOL.
IT'S A BIG PROBLEM IN THE PHILIPPINES IN THIS CASE,
SHOOT THEM IN THE HEAD.
THAT IS INSANITY.
THE OTHER STUFF WAS PROBABLY MURDER BUT WE DON'T KNOW IF
THE DRUG DEALERS HAD WEAPONS OR NOT.
THE DRUG DEALERS ARE ALMOST DEFINITELY MURDER.
NOW WE GET TO THE THIRD LAYER WHICH IS, ONCE YOU START
KILLING PEOPLE YOU STOP CHECKING WHETHER THE GUYS YOU WERE
GOING AFTER IN THE FIRST PLACE.
YOU HAVE A BLANK CHECK FROM A DICTATOR SAYING GO TAKE
CARE THE PROBLEM AND I'M NOT GOING TO HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE.
WHEN YOU DON'T HOLD COPS ACCOUNTABLE, THIS IS WHAT
HAPPENS.
LOOK, THERE IS CORRUPTION IN THE PHILIPPINES JUST LIKE THERE IS
CORRUPTION IN EVERY OTHER COUNTRY AND THEIR MULTIPLE
POLITICAL PARTIES AND THOSE WHO SUPPORT TODAY OR TO JUST
LIKE THOSE WHO SUPPORT TRUMP LIKE TO USE EXCUSES FOR HIM
BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO ACCEPT THE REALITY OF SUPPORTING
A CRAZY PERSON WHO IS ACTUALLY DESTRUCTIVE FOR THEIR SOCIETY.
THE EXCUSE THEY ARE COMING UP OR DO TODAY IS THE POLITICAL
OPPONENTS ARE SETTING THIS UP, THERE'S SOME SORT OF
CONSPIRACY THEORY TO SET HIM UP TO MAKE HIM LOOK BAD.
NO, HE IS TERRIBLE.
HE IS A PERSON WHO GAVE A GREEN LIGHT TO VIGILANTE JUSTICE,
AGILITY INJUSTICE REALLY AND HE IS GIVEN A GREEN LIGHT TO
PEOPLE DOING THESE EXTRAJUDICIAL KILLINGS.
THERE ARE NO EXCUSES FOR HIM.
HE HAS BEEN ON THE RECORD OVER AND OVER AGAIN SAYING THAT
HE APPLAUDS AND SUPPORTS THIS AND NOW THAT HE HAS BEEN
CAUGHT SUPPORTING SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN DESTRUCTIVE, HE IS
TRYING TO WALK IT BACK A LITTLE BIT.
HE IS SAYING NO, THIS IS TERRIBLE.
HE IS SAYING THAT THESE COPS NEED TO BE PUT IN CUSTODY.
NO, YOU NEED TO BE PUT IN CUSTODY.
THERE IS NO REASON WHY SOMEONE LIKE HIM SHOULD BE A LEADER
OF A COUNTRY.
ONCE YOU OPEN UP THAT CAN OF WORMS OF LAWLESSNESS,
VIGILANTE JUSTICE AND THE PRESIDENT SAYING YOU DO NOT
HAVE TO FOLLOW THE LAW.
YOU CAN JUST KILL PEOPLE, IT LEADS DOWN A VERY DARK
ALLEY AND IT DOES EVERY SINGLE TIME.
IN THIS CASE UNFORTUNATELY LITERALLY.
THEY FOUND THE KID, HIS BODY WAS BULLET RIDDLED.
IT WAS IN A FETAL POSITION AND HE WAS SEMI NAKED.
AND THEN THEY PRETENDED THAT HE WAS A DANGEROUS GUY.
THIS IS THE THING THAT HAS OUTRAGED THE PHILIPPINES
WHERE IT IS GONE TOO FAR BUT TO ANA'S POINT, YOU SHOULD
HAVE KNOWN IT WAS GOING TO GO THERE.
WHEN YOU ALLOW SOMEONE TO BREAK THE LAW AND HAVE NO
CONSEQUENCES,
IN THIS CASE DUTERTE AND THEN THE COPS THAT HE
UNLEASHED.
THIS IS THE GUARANTEED RESULT.
IF YOU SUPPORTED HIM BEFORE, DON'T FEIGN OUTRAGE NOW.
THIS IS WHAT YOU AUTHORIZED.
BUT NOW THAT YOU REALIZE WHAT HE'S ACTUALLY DOING, THROW
HIM THE HELL OUT OF OFFICE.
AND MAY YOU BE THE FIRST TO THROW A RIGHT-WING DICTATOR
OR SOMEONE WITH DICTATORIAL TENDENCIES AND MAY OTHERS
FOLLOW.
